Shenmue II Spanish Translation released!

23 July 2015 8:48PM EST - Update by IlDucci

The three-year project that is the Shenmue II Spanish translation has finally been released for Dreamcast and XBOX.

This time, all texts from the game are fully translated, but that’s not all: A number of items have been uncensored, including Yuan’s sexuality, Hassan’s ethnicity, and many other fixes.

We’ve also dubbed certain scenes of the game: The Prologue is, once again, dubbed by Laura Peña or Rinneichan, but also the 2012 Digest Movie dub has been remastered for this translation. The XBOX version has a special cutscene dubbed to Spanish by 19 voice actors.

The Shenmue patch was also updated to make use of the new tricks found by the team and to implement a homogeneous translation of terms in both games. Now the Shenmue saga is fully translated to Spanish.

Dynamic-Designs Releases GalaxyRobo in English!

22 July 2015 6:45AM EST - Update by Draken

After the shortest production time in D-D history, GalaxyRobo was released this week. It is a fairly simplistic SRPG created by the same company responsible for the Lennus series and tells the story of intragalactic war in which you control a sundry of characters who fight back against an empire which seeks to control all.

GalaxyRobo is a classic SNES era SRPG in the same vein as FEDA or Fire Emblem. As an extra bonus, it was one of the few games created with support for the SNES mouse peripheral. So, if you’re playing the game on an actual SNES, be sure to dig out that old mouse and give it a whirl!

Head over to D-D for a full array of patch formats, and as always stop by their forums to stay up-to-date on any news concerning their projects.

Stop Beating Yourself Up

19 July 2015 4:03AM EST - Update by Spooniest

Final Fantasy II Rebalanced is a small and simple romhack made using Mr. Lenophis’ utility “Jade” (with some minor work done in WindHex). The primary aim of the project is to ease the player into the game by not cramming the “learn by doing” mechanic down their throat.

This is accomplished in quite a rudimentary fashion, by simply handing the player a basic skill set at the start of the game.

By the time the midgame is underway, the difficulty ramps up, but the endgame was streamlined as well, to make for an overall “smoother” feel to the difficulty curve.

Make no mistake: the game will still game over the player if they do something profoundly stupid, just not as early or as often. For those who enjoy the ability to “pick up and play,” Final Fantasy II Rebalanced offers not a declawed lion, but simply medical insurance for the lion tamer.

MOTHER 3 Italian Translation patch released!

17 July 2015 3:02AM EST - Update by snifit

After 6 years, MOTHER 3 gets an Italian translation.
It still needs some minor, mostly graphical, adjustments. They’re probably going to be fixed on a future 1.1 release. But it is fully playable and enjoyable as-is.

Heartfelt thanks go to the team of the Japanese to English translation, especially Tomato and JeffMan who helped me getting this done. Enjoy!
